From images of majestic Himalayan mountains in Ladakh with mani (painted prayer stones) scattered below to ancient works of art preserved for more than a millennia on the cave walls in China, this beautifully illustrated book is an introduction to the inspirational aspects of Buddhism. Through five sections—Insights of the Buddha, Wisdom Grows, The Healing Practice, Sacred Symbols, and The Spiritual Cosmos—the book emphasizes the wisdom, healing power, and tranquil beauty of Buddhism and its relevance for those who seek an individual spiritual path or closer connection with all living things.
